SYWAT (Shoot Your Way Across Texas)

My daughter Lauren wanted a compound for Christmas 2011 and wanted to take lessons and hunt turkeys with her Dad during the 2012 Fall Season here in Texas.  Well the season came and went without a joint hunt, but Lauren has kept on practicing and has gotten pretty good with her bow.  As I wrote about earlier, she took First Place at the Longhorn Open and before that she placed 4th at the Texas A&M Open a month earlier during the JOAD season.  She was a little bit late getting started, but she is in the final stretch of the "Shoot Your Way Across Texas" tournament circuit.  So far she has accumulated enough points in 2 matches to place 5th in the State, this is pretty amazing!  She has a meet  this weekend at Canyon Lake and the following week will be her last before State.  She has inspired me to buy a real bow and last week I entered the same tournament (18-54 y.o male) the results were posted last night and I actually placed 86th in the State!!
